PLANO (CBSDFW.COM) – Hundreds of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders hopefuls will be auditioning for the squad in Valley Ranch this weekend, and a North Texas grandmother of two will be among the group.

Several months ago, Sharon Simmons of Carrollton told her story to CBS 11 News. The popular piece lit up the internet, resulting in a little too much attention for her comfort level. So, ever since, Simmons has stepped out of the spotlight and into the dance studio, where CBS 11 News anchor Tracy Kornet caught up with her again.
